You first said when you try to surf to yur url you get 404 error.

I told you to telnet localhost 80 GET / but you told me no error in the ascii output. And you also said socket cannot bind to port 80. So I really assumed that another webprocess started up before apache did. Because when you telnet to port 80 and GET / if you dun see an ascii output of the error page that means port 80 is really in use and a webserver is running. But you never pasted the output here so I assumed you don't want to reveal too much info abt your site, fair enuf, thats why I told you to go into /etc/init.d directories to do a quick check to see if there is a startup script for another possible http webserver application.

I'm assuming here that your apache installation is 100% perfect and that you previously able to bring up and use your webserver but now couldn't probably due to some network related or config issue which causing your problem. if my assumption is wrong you better say so because from what I gather you dun seem to know very much abt the server you are managing even when I told you to grep you use a non-root account to do it which strikes me as quite odd.

anyway I'm thinking 2 more possibilities here.

Go to your webserver, open up the web browser on the server and type http://localhost

and see what you get? Do you see your webpage or do you see another webpage?

The other one is quite remote but sometimes can be affected. Clear your browser cache delete all the cookies or go to another PC and try to surf to the website.

NAME

       apache - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server overview

DESCRIPTION

	apache	consists  of a main server daemon, loadable server modules, some additional support utilities, configuration files, and documenta-
       tion.

FILES

       The apache HTTPD server is integrated with Solaris.

       The following files specify the installation locations for apache:

       /etc/apache	       Contains server configuration files.

			       A newly-installed server must be manually configured before use. Typically this involves copying httpd.conf-example
			       to the httpd.conf file and making local configuration adjustments.

       /usr/apache/bin	       Contains the httpd executable as well as other utility programs.

       /usr/apache/htdocs      Contains  the  Apache  manual  in HTML format. This documentation is accessible by way of a link on the server test
			       page that gets installed upon fresh installation.

       /usr/apache/include     Contains the Apache header files, which are needed for building various optional server extensions with apxs(8)

       /usr/apache/jserv       Contains documention for the mod_jserv java servlet module. Documention can be read with a web  browser	using  the
			       url:

			       file:/usr/apache/jserv/docs/index.html

       /usr/apache/libexec     Contains loadable modules (DSOs) supplied with the server. Any modules which are added using apxs(8)are also copied
			       into this directory.

       /usr/apache/man	       Contains man pages for the server, utility programs, and mod_perl.

			       Add this directory to your MANPATH to read the Apache man pages. See NOTES.

       /usr/apache/perl5       Contains the modules and library files used by the mod_perl extension to Apache.

       /var/apache/cgi-bin     Default location for the CGI scripts.

			       This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/htdocs      Default document root.

			       This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/icons       Icons used by the server.

			       This normally shouldn't need to be changed.

       /var/apache/logs        Contains server log files.

			       The formats, names, and locations of the files in this directory can be altered by various configuration directives
			       in the httpd.conf file.

       /var/apache/proxy       Directory used to cache pages if the caching feature of mod_proxy is enabled in the httpd.conf file.

			       The location of the cache can also be changed by changing the proxy configuration in the httpd.conf file.
